Advice about Taxis in Delhi

Taxi is what you should take for long distances, for example to go to the airport or to the other side of Delhi. They are more expensive than rickshaws, but they are not very expensive, they will wait for you and bring you back if you need it for very little. As other transports you have to speak about the price before taking it. At the airport you take prepaid taxies at a window you will find at the outside the Arrivals area. Beware of the mob of other drivers and touts calling you at the airport and railway station.

Taxis are metered but even knowing this you need to make sure that the meter is working and has been reset before you take off. You will mostly encounter an extra fee for baggage and also if you are taking a taxi between 11.00pm and 5.00am.
